Soundgarden have debuted their first new song for over 15 years, which is titled ‘Live To Rise’. Scroll down to the bottom of the page and click to hear the track.

The track is taken from the soundtrack for the new Hollywood blockbuster The Avengers, which also features Kasabian, Rise Against, Bush, Black Veil Brides, Papa Roach, Five Finger Death Punch and Evanescence.

Soundgarden are currently putting the finishing touches to their sixth studio album, which will be their first new record since 1996’s ‘Down On The Upside’. They reunited in 2010, 12 years after they originally split up.

The band will come to the UK this summer to headline Hard Rock Calling festival in London. Soundgarden, who will also perform at this summer’s Download Festival, join Bruce Springsteen and Paul Simon in headlining the event.

The Avengers will be released in the UK under the title of Marvel Avengers Assemble on April 26. It will be released in the US simply as The Avengers.
